Andrew Bogut

Andrew Bogut is a basketball legend — he won the NBA championship with the Golden State Warriors in 2014 – 2015, playing with THE biggest names and best athletes in the world, and even represented Australia at two Olympics with the Boomers — but also Andrew is a highly effective investor himself, savvy with his millions AND (we feel very proud about this) is a regular listener of The Property Couch!

 

Ricky Commerford

When Ricky was a kid, money was an issue. Growing up in a family of 7, our special guest today confessed that there was unhealthy money education very early on. Although it didn’t feel like he missed a thing and his parents made sure him and his four brothers got everything they needed…

He was still able to sense some tension in the family. You see, today’s guest grew up where credit cards and personal loans were the norm and he saw the effect of that chipping away on his parents’ relationships.

And unfortunately…. those bad habits stuck to him. To the point that the day he turned 18 and was eligible to get a credit card, he got one. (And you wouldn’t believe what he got right away too!)

Luckily, he met the love of his life who had great money senses and that managed to counter his bad habits…

Life was going great until one fateful night at work initiated a very serious spiral into a mental health crisis – PTSD, acute anxiety and acute depression.

All during COVID.

Find out how Ricky managed to turn all this around and prove that whatever life throws at you, a passion to get better, perseverance and a hunger to learn will make sure you overcome this.

Matt D

Matt and his wife, Alana are detectives and they’ve probably seen the absolute worst of society. We’re talking about drug and firearms, organised crime, family violence and sexual offending cases… You need an iron clad mindset and the right support to be able to weather through all that at work, come home and still have faith in humanity.

Luckily, Matt and Alana have exactly that.

Nancia Guivarra

Nancia is a Meriam (Magaram), Wuthathi and Bindal Juru woman who was born in Brisbane and raised in Gladstone, Queensland. She has more than twenty years’ experience in media production, communications, entertainment, the arts and government policy. A former journalist, Nancia worked with National Indigenous Television (NITV) and as Head of Communications for the National Centre of Indigenous Excellence in Redfern, Sydney… and she now currently runs her own freelance communications consultancy company Amneris Pty Ltd.

And, yep… Nancia’s also a property investor (she’s bought and sold 5 properties at that!)… and she’s here to improve the financial literacy of Indigenous Australians AND spread the word Why Financial Inclusion Matters…

Keren White

In today’s brand new episode, we chat with TPC listener Keren White about the Wake-Up Call that shook up her thinking and demanded she change her money habits for good.

You see, prior to the hard blow of death, Keren White and her husband Terence had been pretty cruisey about life…

… and this was also true of their money habits.

They took holidays whenever they wanted to.

They overspent, even though they had a budget in place.

They’d use ’emergency cash’ they’d put away for their car on a weekend getaway instead… after all, the car was fine… and they deserved a break from working so hard, right?

They lived for today.

And they weren’t particularly stretched…

If anything, they were doing kinda fine, really…

But then something happened that changed all this.

And you’re about to hear exactly why this Wake-Up Call became the catalyst needed to prioritise the future too.

 

Sam Phoenix

Meet Sam .

Over four years ago, life was very different for Sam. For almost a decade she struggled with mental health and substance abuse… to the point where she was caught in a revolving door of psychiatric hospitalisation.

Since high school she has battled with mental health challenges, which continued for 9 years, while her struggles with illicit substances lasted for about 7 years…

Obviously, and quite understandably, you can imagine that financial matters weren’t exactly a priority. Let alone the thought of investing in property!

Fast forward to today, and Sam’s life is “we have no words” different. A PHENOMENAL turnaround you just have to hear to believe, folks!

Oh, and just FYI… Sam is a young single woman on a modest income who has never known ANY other property investors… yep, that’s ON TOP of her incredible backstory.

Matt Srama

Top athletes often have a big spike in their income over their lifetime. That is, at the top of their game they’re looking at earning some serious coin… but beyond that… their income can plummet right down, sometimes to ground zero. And things get a bit tricky if the skills they possess aren’t necessarily transferable to the workforce too!

So, folks, what we want to tackle in today’s episode is this… how does a top athlete — or anyone on a fluctuating income for that matter — juggle a small window of time where they’ve got access to more cash than they’ll potentially earn in the future?? How can they maximise this so they can set themselves up BEYOND their time in sport?

Here to help us answer this question, and unpack his money and property story, is someone who has been there, done that… Matt Srama!!!

For those playing at home who might not be familiar with who Matt Srama is… he’s a professional NRL rugby league player for the Gold Coast Titans who had to park his career at the ripe young age of 26 due to injury. Meaning… after a solid career in the NRL, he’s personally experienced with what it’s like to be back “in the real world”! And he’s going to share A LOT of this gold with you today… and folks… you’ll see why what he’s learnt has set him up to work in a development role for the Gold Coast Titans, where now he helps other young players navigate this space!

Gabby Lambkin

Want to hear a real life “BEFORE & AFTER” story?? If so, then this is THE episode for you.

Here’s the deal…

… Life prior to being Money SMART was a whole lot different for Gabby Lambkin and her young family. She had NO idea that soon she’d enter a book shop & stumble on the simple money management solution she’d been looking for… but low and behold that’s EXACTLY what happened!!

And Gabby went from someone who, in a moment of being scared, sold her properties in one go… to someone who knows that she will ALWAYS be in a position to afford her portfolio.
Tune in now to find out how she did it.
